Making Money
To make money, you have several options. The most
honest way is to create items out of materials, then sell them to a trade point
for profit. You can repeat the process, and makoe bigger and better items, for
more money. You can also treat yourself to your own cheap items.
With building items, you must first purchase a BOOK
from a bookshop or somewhere in Hymené that sells the books. Depending on the
things you want to build, the books you wants are:
The Book of Transport
The Book of Weapons
The Book of Industry
The Book of Wahalech
The Book of Chemicals
The Book of Drugs
The Book of Sherker
The Book of Confusion
For building cars, buy the book of transport. Not
recommended for beginners, you probably wouldnt have enough money to buy the
material for a car lol.
For building weapons and ammunition of
most sorts, the book of weapons is a good idea.
The book of Industry allows you to build gizmos like
communicators, scanners etc.
The book of Wahalech allows you to build Wahalech
weapons such as fan guns and slither armor, as apposed to
regular weapons.
The book of chemicals - god knows why I put that in
there. I'm sure there's a purpose somewhere.
The book of drugs might be needed if you want to
produce drugs.
The book of sherker and confusion are ancient books,
and are not to do with making money through making items.
So anyway, I recommend the book of weapons, because
you can start off making very low value items like rockets (not the launcher,
the ammo itself) and so on.
Once you have your book, you will need to buy
material. For weapons it will be METAL, for Wahalech things TAON,
for cars, industrial - in fact, nearly everything required METAL. For
drugs you might need CHEMICALS, but that is another story.
Once you have invested in your metal, you must find a
point of building: A FORGE for guns and stuff, a LABORATORY (for
chemicals), and a FACTORY for cars, and other products possibly.
When you find this point, this will be your work area,
your job basically. You can choose to build an item, as long as you know the
special code for that item. It will cost you a certain amount of material. When
you build it, a timer will tick down. If you walk away from that area, you
cannot continue to build it until you return. You'll know this because the
timer will halt, or dissapear.
To build an item, type /build [item_code_name]
For example, building a bunch of rockets is: /build
ROCKETS
Other simple items are ROCKET_LAUNCHER, FANS,
FORKS, etc.
Some cars to build are MINORI, DEMENES,
CORONA.
Once the build is complete, you are the proud owner of
that item. You will find that it cost you less than half to make it than it is
to buy it.
The final stage unless you sell it privately (not
coded yet) which will be akward, but get you tonnes of profit... but anyway...
the final stage is to find a TRADE POINT, and type /trade
[item_code_name].
This will make you sell the item at trade price. You
wont make much profit - but you will definately make some.
And there you go, you've made some money. You can go
buy more materials, and build something else etc.
Your job is about what your needs are. Whether you
chose a factory, laboratory, a forge - to use metal, taon, etc. You will have to go out and find how near
these places are to each other, and travel to each place (Materials, Workspace,
Tradepoint). You might wanna invest in a car eventually, etc, so you can get to
places easier - OR go exploring for other better places.
This is so far the most bog standard
"good-guy" way to make money.
I have not yet done every other method of making money
but you can become a BLOOD BOUNTY HUNTER. Not yet done, you can sell
blood of people you kill, to trade centers or whatever. You can be innocent and
GIVE BLOOD at special points. To do this, you will need at least 70%
health, and it will take 60% of your health away, BUT you will end up with some
blood, and your health will eventually recover. Not wise to go into battle
straight after.
Of course you can try and lick rich peoples' asses and
find out mean and cruel ways to make money.
You can also '/trade' in items you have bought,
as apposed to built. It might only get you about half price of what you payed,
but its there guaranteed. Trading is basically selling to the server, not a
real player. You get peanuts for it, but its always there. So if you wanna
upgrade your car (which you can only carry one in your pocket anyway), you
might as well go to a trade point and get some money for it.
Making Nuntergobber
Nuntergobber is a powerful and addictive drug. It is uniquely made, and is the first
drug so far I have programmed in that you can build yourself from its raw
materials.
Nuntergobber is made from Coyna. Coyna is the
markarigan word for "gold". It is the gold dust you get from crushing
a Coyna Moth. If you notice here on earth when you crush a moth - you
also get gold dust, lol.
To find the Coyna Moth, you must find Nuntere
bushes. When you find them, if you punch (attack without a gun in the
hands) you will swipe, and sometimes catch some Coyna Moths.
Once you have some moths, you must find a GRINDER,
which is another form of workspace like the laboratory and forge. At the
grinder, you must grind the moths into raw Coyna. This is the gold dust
that is used to make the nuntergobber.
At the grinder type /grind moth [number of moths]
for example: /grind moth 12
When you grind the moths, you will end up with a
certain amount of coyna. The more moths you grind together at one time, the
more coyna you will get as a result - accelerating rapidly. This is the trick.
For example if you grind twice as many moths, you wont get twice as much coyna
- you will get like, 5 times as much coyna perhaps. The more moths you catch,
the more potential value accelerates. This is why there is an option of how
many moths you wish to grind.
Once you grind the moths into Coyna, it is time to mix it with Chemicals and
produce Nuntergobber. Or if you prefer, you can get high on the raw
coyna itself - /snort coyna
Don't make a habit of it, it's very easy to OD on raw
coyna. To make nuntergobber you must buy Chemicals, and go to a LABORATORY.
When you are at the laboratory, type: /treat coyna [number of coyna]
You might as well treat it all, unless you prefer to
snort it raw. It might tell you how many chemicals you need compared to how
much coyna. Make sure you have plenty.
So there you go, you can make nuntergobber, for your
own injecting pleasure, or to sell to trades or poor gits on the streets (eventually
the gits).
If you're caught with a huge amount of this stuff, or
the moths and raw coyna, you might get in trouble - but thats all the fun.
Hahaha.
Losing All Your Money
It is very easy to spend all your money. This is why
Hymené is such a bitter and harsh environment. If you lose your money that's
it, you're fucked. You have to ponce off someone, beg, kill, do favors for
people, lick peoples asses, lie. Whatever you can do to cheat the system, you
have to do it to make money. The only cheating that isn't tolerated of course,
is exploiting the game from outside the game itself, and doing stupid script
kiddie hacky shit.
The angels wont come down and fuck you up too much if
you're committing 'honest crimes'. But it will still be fun running away from
them - if you can.
Managing Your Money
If you do chose to have an honest job building items
from materials, make sure you dont spend so much that you can't buy more
materials lol, or you will end up bankrupt.
